 As part of a series of events for sexual assault awareness month, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower held an open mic April 14th in the Hanger Bay. The event featured sailors singing, dancing, and reciting poetry, all with the goal of promoting prevention and awareness about sexual assault. We cannot stop every assault. Preparateurs aren't going to change. We have to change. We have to start with ourselves and make that difference. Dwight D. Eisenhower has deployed to the U.S. to display area of responsibility, promoting maritime security operations, theater security cooperation efforts, and support missions as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
